Photo of the day: Baby Grevy's zebra born at Detroit Zoo

Meet Jimmy, a newborn Grevy's zebra born last week at the Detroit Zoo.

Grevy's zebras, an endangered species, are unique among other zebra breeds as they are the largest of all zebras, and are born with brown stripes that turn black as they mature.

“We’re happy to welcome another important little individual to the global conservation program for Grevy’s zebras. He’s a very cute but also very important ambassador for his species, and reminds us that Grevy’s zebras still face significant threats to their survival in East Africa,” Scott Carter, Detroit Zoological Society Chief Life Sciences Officer, said in a news release.

Jimmy's proud parents at the zoo are 19-year-old mother Elvira and 10-year-old father Z.Z. (Hello, May-December romance.) Jimmy also has a half-sister, 8-year-old Zoe.
